Apologies for a lack of updates. Had a very busy week last week, and have been exhausted. I wanna update most of my fics today and tomorrow due to the fact that I'll be to excited for Nintendo direct and E3 to write. Thanks for your continued support, JIRO
Krom walked out onto the battlefield he was assigned to, and noticed one thing. There was absolutely no one in the audience. He frowned, and walked forward, where Caitlin stood on the other side of the field. Krom turned around, noticing a few faces in the audience. He saw Marshal, Shauntal and Grimsley, along with Alder, Iris and another man wearing a butler's outfit with black and gold hair. Krom frowned, turning to Caitlin. "Odd choice of an audience, don't you think?" He asked, and she frowned. "Of course not. Send out your Pokemon, I grow tired of waiting." she snapped, and Krom frowned. Her impatience would cost her.
Caitlin sent out a Reuniclus, and Krom shuddered. The Mitosis Pokemon always looked like an alien in jello to him, and he found it creepy. Saria would like the Pokemon though, as it was a Psychic type. Krom let Hinata walk forward, and the Heatran glared at the jello alien. Caitlin snickered. "You shouldn't be before me at this moment. That Pokemon was obtained illegaly, and therefore everything it did should be forfeit." she stated, and Krom laughed.
"That wouldn't matter. Warriorf, and any of my other Pokemon for that matter, would have won anyway. If need be, I would have called upon my Mewtwo, Birisu. He have beat, skinned, rolled and smoked every one of my foes, and enjoyed it. I took a Pokemon from a con artist, after his suicide. The tatic in battle i used wore off after the battle. She chose me, so it's legal." he said, and she frowned. She commanded her Reuniclus to use Focus Blast, and Krom countered with Dark Pulse.
The ball of energy tore through the rings of darkness, being super effective on them. Krom yelled for Hinata to dodge, and she leapt away. Caitlin called for Psychic, and the Pokemon's large eyes glew. Hinata froze in air, and the Reuniclus slammed her to the ground. Caitlin called for Focus Blast. Hinata stood, and Krom called for Focus Blast himself. The balls of energy slammed into each other, Reuniclus' slightly larger, as the Pokemon had more offense than Heatran, a more defensive Pokemon. Krom called for Magma Storm, and the swirling vortex of flame struck the blue energy ball and pushed it. Caitlin called for Psyshock, and the Pokemon made a gurgling noise, like the being inside the gelatin was choking.
Small pale blue balls of energy appeared around Hinata and began pelting her repeatedly. She kept up the flame, her huge bulk and resistance to the move helping her. The balls of energy melded with the flame vortex, making the flames a light blue. They sped toward the jello Pokemon, and the Pokemon floated back in shock. Caitlin called for Protect, and the barrier formed about the Pokemon. The flame slammed into the Pokemon, who grunted as it held the barrier. Caitlin was stalwart, not even the slightest bit worried. Krom called for Hinata to use Calm Mind without stopping, and she closed her eyes. Her flames grew, and the Pokemon inside the barrier nearly touched the ground.
Iris watched nearly emotionless, and Alder enjoyed the battle whole heartedly. Shauntal smiled, debating on how she could write a book off this battle. Grimsley was trying to get someone to gamble on every aspect of the battle, and was failing. Marshal sat, watching the battle intently, crushing a purple can in his large hands. The sixth spectator, a lean man with black and gold hair and glasses watched with more intent than anyone. He was to make sure the Halfling scum didn't harm Lady Caitlin.
The barrier shattered, and the encased Pokemon called out as the flames seared it. The flame raced past the Pokemon, and Caitlin frowned as she stepped away from the flame. Hinata ceased fire, and the flames dissapated. Reuniclus was still floating, but the gelatinious substance about it was thinned heavily, making the Pokemon completely different. It fell face first, and rolled into the air, and then began panting. Caitlin returned the Pokemon, and sent out an Alakazam. Krom watched with intent, and Hinata looked to him, nodding.
Krom called for Earth Power, and the Alakazam crossed his legs, floating in the air with ease. Caitlin called for Focus Blast, and Krom called for Dig. The spider burrowed into the ground, and the energy ball flew straight at Krom. Using Strength, Krom swung his fist, shattering the energy ball. Caitlin called for Calm Mind, and the mustached Pokemon hummed, glowing as he used the move to sense Hinata out. Krom called for Bug Bite, and the spider exploded from the ground, biting the thigh of the Pokemon. Krom called for Body Slam, and the spider flipped, smashing the Pokemon to the ground.
Rolling off, Hinata growled as the Alakazam rose. Caitlin called for Hidden Power, and Krom frowned. He called for SolarBeam, and the spider launched the yellow beam of energy, tearing through the balls of energy the yellow Pokemon launched and racing toward it. Caitlin called for Hyper Beam, and the Pokemon launched a massive Beam from it's palms, hitting the yellow energy beam. Krom smirked, calling for Hinata to stop. She did, and Krom called for Gyro Ball. The Pokemon rolled forward, appeearing to do multiple Sommersaults. She rolled at Alakazam, the energy beam shattered with ease.
She struck, knocking the Pokemon back where Krom called for Flame Wheel. She continued to spin, but spat flame to cloak herself in. As she had Flash Fire as an ability, using Flame Wheel made her stronger. She slammed into the Pokemon, flinging him at Krom. Krom, acting in self defense, used Circle Throw to grab the Pokemon, spin, and throw him back at his trainer defeated. She returned the Pokemon, frowning. She sent out her next Pokemon, Sigilyph.
Caitlin called for Ice beam, and Krom called for Flamethrower. THe two attacks collided and evaporated, sending a misty pall over the area. With their vision dimmed, the audience frowned. Krom saw perfectly, his draconic vision helping him. He heard a faint call for Sky Attack, and Krom smirked. He told Hinata to wait, and use Crunch when she felt something nearby. She sat, tucking her back and front legs under her like a folding table. Seeing a harsh light in the distance, she slowly unfolded her legs. The light grew harsher and brighter as it closed in, and she grunted. The light was nearly to much for her to handle, and Krom called for her to bear with it. He said she could use Sandstorm to help if need be, as the weather change would disrupt the flow, but she remained still, waiting carefully.
The light became blinding, and she opened her jaws, and clamped down. She heard a cry, and spun and slammed the Pokemon into the ground. Using Flash Cannon, she struck at close range, and heard a cry. She used Sunny Day to dissapte the mist, and saw the Sigilyph defeated and missing a wing on the ground. Caitlin growled, returning the defeated Pokemon. She frowned, looking at Krom. "I don't appreciate your lack of control. Your Pokemon acted on it's own in that mist, which is technically illegal." she stated, and Krom frowned.
"Do you honestly think I give a flying fuck what you think? My Pokemon acted on instinct. Unless your saying instinct is illegal, which it can't be, seeing as how wild Pokemon live off them, I'd like it if you shut your hairy ass mouth. Don't talk to me about controlling my Pokemon, when you can't control your fucking hair." he said. She frowned, and sent out the Reuniclus. Krom called for Dark Pulse, and Caitlin called for Focus Blst. THe weakened Pokemon moved too slow, and the rings struck it hard, defeating it. She returned the Pokeon, and sent out a Bronzong.
Caitlin immediately called for Psychic. Blue energy formed around Hinata, freezing her to the spot. Krom called for Magma Storm, but the hold was too strong for her to open her mouth. Krom frowned, calling for Lava Plume as the Bronzong closed in. The Pokemon closed her eyes, and flame erupted around her, and struck the Bronzong, who seemed unfazed. Caitlin put her hand to her lips and laughed. "HA! You think that'll work? My Bronzong has Heatproof as an ability, which cuts damage sustained from Fire type moves by half! This ability technically gives my Bronzong no weaknesses!" She jested, and the Bronzong reached Hinata.
Krom growled. Caitlin called for Gyro Ball, and the Pokemon spun at high speeds, slamming into Hinata repeatedly. She grunted, and Krom called for Lava Plume again. The flame erupted, knocking the Bronzong back slightly and releasing her from it's hold. Krom called for Magma Storm, and the swirling Vortex of flame struck the bell Pokemon, who grunted. Krom then called for Iron Head, and Hinata pounced, slamming her head into the bell. The Pokemon slid back, and Krom called for Dark Pulse. THe rings pelted the Pokemon, who grunted as flame cloaked it, the second effect of Magma Storm.
The bell refused to give, and Caitlin frowned as she switched the Pokemon for her Metagross. Hinata frowned at the Pokemon, and Caitlin called for Earthquake. Krom cursed, telling Hinata to jump and use Magma Storm. She propelled herself into the air with her sturdy legs, and spat flame from her maw. The Metagross moved away with ease, and Caitlin called for Psychic. Krom called for Flash, and the Heatran's eyes shined bright. The Metagross grunted, adn Krom called for Fire Blast. The flame flew at the metal spider, and avoided it with ease. Caitlin called for Meteor Mash, and Hinata hit the ground. Krom called for Iron Head, and the spider charged forth.
The two metal spiders charged at each other, one cloaked in silver energy, the other just an arm. The Metagross gave a grunt, and Hinata snorted, and they clashed. An explosion rung out, and Krom grunted at the gust that blew by him. The air was heavy with dust, and Krom couldn't see his Pokemon anywhere, nor Caitlin's. He frowned, waiting for the dust to clear. Caitlin was also waiting intently. When the dust finally did clear, Caitlin's Metagross grunted at the damage he sustained, and wobbled. Hinata panted, shaking her head from the pain. She growled, and Krom called for Eartquake the same time Caitlin did.
Both Pokemon raised a foot and slammed it down. The reverbarating energy shook both Pokemon, but Krom was smarter. "Hinata, use Aerial Ace!" he called. Caitlin growled, and Hinata launched herself into the air,spinning and coming down. Caitlin smiled, telling Metagross to use Explosion. Krom cursed, and the Pokemon self-destructed as Hinata came down. Krom frowned, as the resulting explosion defeated both Pokemon. Krom frowned, returning Hinata. He sent out Kooky, who was giggling with excitement. Caitlin sent her weakened Bronzong back out, and Krom sighed. He called for Guillotine, and Kooky exploded forth. His blades lengthened to over a foot long, and he swung down at the bell. Caitlin called for Focus Blast, but the bell was too slow. The move always defeated everything it came into contact with, but Bronzong was special. The bell was bisected, and the ninja laughed.
She returned the two pieces of Pokemon, and sent out her final Pokemon, her Gothitelle. Krom could see the worry and fear in her eyes, fear that Gothitelle wouldn't walk away. Krom sighed. "Kooky, calm down. Make sure she lives, got it?" he asked, and the ninja Pokemon rolled his eyes, and nodded. He turned to the gothic Pokemon, who was charging him with Brick Break. He used an attack he kept in the bowel of his movepool, Attract.
Using a combination of Attract and Captivate, along with Charm, Kooky completely enthralled the Pokemon. With constant usage of the latter two moves, the Pokemon's offenses were worse than a dead Magikarp's. She smiled at the ninjatic Pokemon, who smiled back. He stuck his blade up, and she grabbed it carefully. Kooky walked off the stage with the gothic Pokemon, giving Krom a look of amusement. Krom clapped. "Looks like I win again." he said. Caitlin growled. "How dare you steal my Pokemon! I should have you arrested for thievery!" she yelled. Krom yawned. "Meh. I defeated your Pokemon, and left it alive. Shouldn't you be happy. After all, I did see the fear in your eyes. Though, how I saw your eyes behind all that hair is beyond me." he said.
She simmered. Krom whistled, and Kooky appeared. He looked to the ninjatic Pokemon, who giggled sickeningly. Krom looked to the audience. "i defeated Caitlin, which means I move on. Marshal, you're next." he said. The dark skinnd elite four member laughed. "That's fine by me. Mind if we change it up though? How about we start off with a doble battle, and them move to single battles afterword?" he asked. Krom hummed. "Fine by me. see you all tomorrow." he said, and began walking off. Kooky giggled, hopping on Krom's shoulder. Caitlin became infuriated. "Don't you dare walk away from me! Darach, stop him!" she called. The man with black and blonde hair vaulted from the audience, and stood in front of Krom.
"Princess Caitlin wishes for you to stay." he said, and Krom laughed. He looked to Kooky. "You turn around, I keep moving?" he asked, and the Pokemon nodded. Darach reached for his hip, and Krom noticed an elaborate Rapier. Kooky leapt off the Halfling's shoulders, and charged Caitlin. Darach became panicked, and jabbed at Krom. Krom grabbed the blade, and snapped it in half with ease. He elbowed the butler in the face, sending him stumbling back. He vaulted to his feet, and charged Kooky, forgetting Krom. Kooky reached Caitlin, and held her down with his weight. He swung his blades, and a lock of hair fell out. That's when she realized he didn't want to kill her, he wanted to take all of her hair.
Krom tripped Darach, and hoisted him into the air. He held him firm, and made him watch as Kooky slashed each and every lock of hair from her head. He worked cleanly and quickly, and her resolve faded with each swing. Twice did he miss and slice her cheeks, which now had tears running into the wound. Darach screamed and hollered, trying fultily to break free of Krom's iron grip. Shauntal laughed, jotting down the happenings in a notebook, and Grimsley found it amusing. Iris thought it was about time someone put Caitlin in her place, and Alder was too busy puffing on some herb Simba brought him during the battle. The Luxray Halfling was laughing hysterically, and Marhsl found it wrong, and leapt down to help.
Kooky had finished, and rolled her away carefully, and Krom sighed. "Well, now that you've failed her, she won't let you live it down, so I might as well put you out of your misery." he said. He released Darach, and then plowed his hand through the trainer's chest. Pulling it out, he looked to his waist, where Darach had three Pokebals. He hummed, grabbing them and throwing them up to Simba, who had slightly calmed down. Caitlin laid on the ground nearly hairless, and Krom called to Kooky, who giggled madly. Krom sent out Saria's Sigilyph, Glyph, who used Psychic and floated back to Krom's room with the hair and Kooky in tow. Marshal had appeared, and cradled Caitlin in his arms carefully, and Krom began walking out again.
Marshal stopped him this time, and Krom sighed. "The fuck? Can't a Halfling walk back to his fucking room?" he groaned, and Marshal placed the unconscious Caitlin down slowly. "That was too far. You can't assault a member of the elite four without concequnces." he said, walking forward. Alder laughed, eyes bloodshot. "That's bull. Who cares, let him do it! You can't do anything without my word anyway dude!" he laughed, mellow as a sleeping Snorlax. Marshal growled, clenching his fists. Krom looked the elite four member over. He was two inches taller, and likely heavier, and Krom could see the intent in his eyes.
Krom looked to Simba. "Can't I leave without smashing half the elite four?" he asked. Simba shrugged. Marhsal spread his feet, and Krom rolled his eyes. "Fine. But I need time to prepare for our battle tomorrow." he said, and Marshal nodded. Little did Marshal know, Warriorf and the Stealth Rangers were busy doing a little costume designing.
